How do positive and negative acceleration differ?

Positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down.
Positive acceleration moves north or east; negative acceleration moves south or west.
Positive acceleration occurs when there is more velocity than speed; negative acceleration occurs when there is less velocity than speed.
Positive acceleration occurs when an object changes its speed but not its direction; negative acceleration occurs when an object changes both its speed and direction.
